ROSS H. JONES And when a lady’s in the case, You know all other things give place.” Ross surely is a regular ladies’ man. And every day is ladies’ day for him. Whether its some girl from E. F. A. or a college maiden, he is always very attentive. Really—Ross you ought to go on the stage—you would make a fine leading man. But still, your powers for arguing in American History Class are great also. Perhaps you would make a great lawyer. Senior Reception Committee. TUTTLE JUDSON Self trust is the essence of heroism.” Did you ever see Tut” when he wasn’t busy about something or other? His ambition and industry quite shame us for work seems to be a pleasureable occupation with him. Not that Tut” is a grind—far from it, but the combination of his activity with the business ability which shows, should make him successful in whatever he undertakes. STEWART P. LANDON. Radiant with ingenious honesty.” Stewart is one of those true blue fellows that make friends wherever they go by their quiet, gentlemanly manner and reliable ways. If he ever did anything indiscreet we have yet to learn of it. Still, it must be rather hard to be sedate on all occasions with such an attractive face. Perhaps the ladies might be a better authority on this subject, how- ever, so we leave it to them. Senior Reception Committee.

NORMAN J. LEARNED. Norman is a funny boy And fussing is his greatest joy.” Norm” poses as a genuine sport and fashion plate. He also knows the kinks and curls of the ways of the girls and gets enviably in with them. As a bluffer, Norman has won much renown. He frequently rattles off a lengthy and polished discourse and asks very learned (notice his name) questions in history but---cheer up dear boy, we really do not think you half bad. E. F. A. Entertainment. FREDERICK PAIGE. If I shoot at the sun I may hit a star.” Have you ever noticed the fondness which Fred has for dreaming? Building those airy castles seems to be his favorite occupation. He rises from the turmoil and bustle of the class room, where that most difficult and embarrassing operation known as thinking is indulged in, to those far off regions where he views himself, the laurel crowned victor of a Marathon race, or the famous singer winning a burst of applause. These two situations are Fred’s twin ambitions and we wish him good luck toward their attainment. E. F. A. Entertainment. M. EDWIN LEVY. Common sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom.” Here is one of our musical geniuses as you readily agree if you have ever heard the melody which Mike can bring from that little mandolin. His ability is shown not only in his individual performance, but also in his skillful leadership of the mandolin orchestra. Mike is one of the congenial spirits who hover about Miss Carr’s room and make life agreeable (?) for its fair inmate. Without doubt, the mando- lin is a useful instrument for serenading. Eh, Mike ?
